levelling screed Explanation: Hi Roberta I "think" this is about applying a levelling screed on top of a concrete foundation (casting); this action can be necessary to bring up the surface to the required height, to repair cracks and other imperfections, and to create a smooth, level floor surface. Before applying a screed, the underlying fully cured concrete surface (or "cement agglomerate" as your writer specifies - somewhat pedantically perhaps) should be prepared, usually by scoring and roughing to ensure the necessary anchorage properties. Cheers Derek |

vedi sotto Explanation: anche se sono d'accordo con Derek che il cemento deve essere preparato prima di ulteriori gettate, mi pare che la tua domande si riferisca a "Nel caso di riprese di getto" che io tradurrei come "before more concrete is poured..." The concrete must be poured in lifts of 4' and allowed to preset which is usually about 1 hour before more concrete is poured. The use of a setting agent is optional if a faster pour rate is required. When the concrete has reached the required set, the inner forms and waler system is removed to go on to the next project.

Reference: Riprese di getto Reference information: Hello all, I am working on the exact same file and although it is true that 'riprese' does refer to more concrete being poured or applied, I think it refers to the fact that concrete gets cracked or forms gaps or hollow spots that need the 'famigerate riprese'. |
